Dedicated CC Awards

This award was implemented May 2010 so that we could begin recognizing CCs that have given so much of their time & efforts with the TXGenWeb.
They have worked countless hours to create productive websites that will benefit the patrons in their research. We appreciate all of our CCs and
want them to realize how much of a valuable part they are of the TXGenWeb Project. Without the CCs efforts, we are nothing. Thank you for all
you are doing!

When Gayle joined the TXGenWeb team, all that was asked of a CC was to be a warm body that would answer emails, and learn enough html to put addresses & lookups online. As FREE genealogy online has blossomed, so has Gayle and she has managed to continually find new information for her counties, which is a big help to the researchers. She keeps her counties updated with the new information and keeps the links current, which is no small job with 5 counties to keep up with. She is truely a dedicated CC. Thanks for all you do Gayle.

2010

December, 2010	Faye Elder became a volunteer for TXGenWeb in 1998, and has been the CC of Concho County since that time. Concho County is one of the small counties in Texas, having a population of just 3044 people in 1990. This creates problems for a CC, as there are few records available in comparison to many of the larger counties in Texas. Faye is certainly a dedicated CC as she has found interesting and valuable information to post for researchers. A big thank you goes to Faye from TXGenWeb and from the patrons who have benefited from her efforts. We are proud to have Faye as a member of the TXGenWeb.

Cottle County is a small county, with only 24 people listed in the 1880 census, and in 1940 there were only about 700 farms listed. In spite of the small area and population, Vickye has been able to put together records and photographs for the Cottle County researchers. The TXGenWeb thanks her for her years of dedication to this small county.
October, 2010	Alicia Brown has been the CC of Menard County since 1999.

When the original CC no longer had time to devote, Kay became the CC late in 2003.

August, 2010	Carla & Billy Clifton - Carla & Billy Clifton - Carla & Billy started out with TXGenWeb in the early days, when CC's were few and counties were plentiful. They accepted the challenge by taking on Liberty County in July of 1996. Billy quickly took on more counties and adopted Angelina, Polk, & San Jacinto, with Carla helping in the background. Since the early days, these dedicated CC's have taken on many counties between them. Some Carla would babysit until a CC could be found, some to help out other CCs, and some just because the need was there. Between Carla & Billy, 8 counties have good homes: Angelina, Chambers, Jasper, Liberty, Newton, Polk, San Jacinto, & Tyler. Anytime help is needed within TXGenWeb, Carla is always there to do all she can, and has worn several hats since 1996. She is presently serving as Grievance Coordinator, Mentor Coordinator, Orphan Counties Coordinator, and serves on the Dedicated CC Award committee. It is because of dedicated people like Carla & Billy that The TXGenWeb Project is one of the top USGenWeb states!
July, 2010	Tom Graham - Tom started as a CC in Feb. 2006 with three counties: Dimmit, La Salle, and Zavala. He has worked diligently to find something to post on each of the counties he maintains, small as they are. From the Early Photographs of Dimmit County to the World War I Discharge List of La Salle County. Many thanks to you for your hard work Tom. I am sure the patrons benefit greatly from your efforts. Kimm Antell - Kimm is the CC for Karnes Co. and just took on Hardeman Co. Kimm has been with the TXGenWeb Project for 13 years. She has been a very valuable asset to the project.
